Hello crafty friends! It’s time for another release with Simon Says Stamp! I have some bright and cheerful inspiration to share with you.

In today’s project, I’m sharing three cardmaking techniques that always work together—stamping, ink blending, and stenciling. These are some of my favorite ways to add depth, color, and interest without making a design feel overly complicated.
